Proclaiming itself ‘Nature's playground’, Niyama Private Islands Maldives takes barefoot luxury to an exotic new level, boasting wild luxury for all ages. The rare dual-island concept allows you to choose your rhythm, between serene Chill and vibrant Play, allowing you to flow effortlessly between both. Niyama is a tropical paradise for both families and couples, with lush vegetation, ivory white beaches, crystal clear waters and endless views out over the Indian Ocean. The resort is a mix of modern and traditional Maldivian design and facilities, with a distinctive edgy feel, where guests are wonderfully looked after, choosing between total privacy and an extraordinary range of activities including our very own Explorers Kids Club.
Niyama has an exotic mix of spacious beachfront villas and overwater villas and pavilions, each with uninterrupted views of the ocean. Choose between a Beach Villa with a fabulous outdoor rain shower and a Deluxe Water Pool Villa with its own fibre optic lit pool, and a One Bedroom Beach Pool Pavilion, perfect for families. To deluxe over water pool villas and Ocean Pavilions with one or two bedrooms with endless paradise ocean views, all beautifully styled with an elevated, enhanced comfort in a tranquil Maldivian design. Take off your shoes, take a dip, and enjoy the services of your personal butler, and in-room deli.
Unique to resorts in the Maldives, the
Explorers Kids Club, which is run and managed by Scott Dunn caters for children from as young as 12 months and up to 12 years (other resorts take children from the age of 4). Open all year round, seven days a week from 10am to 6pm, and a choice of morning, afternoon and all-day sessions with age-related activities and facilities, Niyama is the ideal family destination. So, whilst our younger guests enjoy the circus themed play area and creative daily activity programme, parents can take some well-deserved time off and enjoy everything that both islands offer.
Unlike many Maldivian resorts, Niyama has an impressive choice of restaurants offering world-class cuisine. From all day dining at Blu around the family pool, underwater fine dining at Subsix, treehouse gourmet dining at NEST, to dining in the jungle at Tribal, with Afro-Latin fare amidst blazing fires, from relaxed beach club lunches at Dune with its Surf Shack bar and Food Truck to a sunset dinner on a private jetty at Edge, barefoot BBQs on the sand and special pop up events and destination dining you really are spoilt for choice, Niyama promises a range of international cuisine for every palate. Guests can also choose private dining as well as take advantage of the in-room deli – your own fridge stocked with cold meats, cheeses and wine, meaning you don’t need to leave the privacy of your own suite.
Active guests will love the range of watersports available at Niyama and could quite possibly do something different every day. From boat trips to snorkel sites, scuba diving, catamaran sailing and wakeboarding, to game fishing, kitesurfing and seabobbing, the ocean is there to be enjoyed. For the surf lovers, head to the Maldives’ only private surf wave. Finish off the day with a sunset Dhoni sail – a traditional Maldivian boat that can take you for a private cruise. On land activities range from tennis, painting, cooking and biking to a movie under the stars. For a more relaxed stay, the Drift Spa with its ocean views is the perfect place for some indulgent treatments. Or try one of the Tai Chi classes at Pump, the resort’s state of the art gym.
